You can check if a query has posts with if( $your_query->have_posts() ), and only output the container if it passes that test. $featuredPosts = new WP_Query( array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 2, ‘cat’ => 6, ‘offset’ => 4 ) ); if ( $featuredPosts->have_posts() ) : echo(‘<ul class=”right-hang”>’); while ( $featuredPosts->have_posts() ) : $featuredPosts->the_post(); endwhile; echo ‘</ul>’; endif;
One issue at least: you’ll want to close the loop before outputting your pagination links, or else they’ll be output on every iteration of the loop. But you’ve got paginate_links() before endwhile;. Try this arrangement instead: // open loop if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); // Loop markup // close … Read more
Not sure why this works, where the other query was failing. I’m not sure if it’s a bug that others are experiencing or not. Anytime I included any category “inclusive” arg, it broke my meta_query, but it didn’t seem to if i was “excluding” categories. So,…making an array of all category ids, then unsetting the … Read more
One way to deal with the problem is to use the redirect_canonical filter to cancel the redirect (that happens when the category that the post is assigned to doesn’t match the category slug in the requested post URL) for posts assigned to International (intl) category. /* * Related core file: wp-includes/canonical.php * * NOTE: If … Read more
From the Codex: child_of (integer) Display all categories that are descendants (i.e. children & grandchildren) of the category identified by its ID. There is no default for this parameter. If the parameter is used, the hide_empty parameter is set to false. And… parent (integer) Display only categories that are direct descendants (i.e. children only) of … Read more
Why is WP_Query’s meta_query not filtering results?
Meta_query weird behaviour
i think that you need to use wp_reset_query(); before woo_loop_after();
the change you require is a modification to your theme, it will take time and you might end up corrupting it if you are not comfortable working with WordPress, instead of that you can make a child theme for it and make whatever change you want inside it. A replacement and partial solution would be … Read more
Your query would be something like: $post_ids = $wpdb->get_col( “SELECT DISTINCT post_id FROM {$wpdb->prefix}wti_like_post WHERE user_id = {$author->ID}” ); Then you can pass that array of post IDs as the post__in argument of WP_Query: $args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘post__in’ => $post_ids );
